Some nice FL's going on :)

Odd, after having fitted the EGR bypass over a year ago the duck noise has just started on mine, though cant say it's an issue only there for a few seconds then goes after engine shut down

Can anyone explain the logic behind dipped headlights turning off when full beam is activated? I can't think of a scenario or situation whereby I would be on high beam and NOT want to see the road immediately in front of me. I assume my FL1 is not a rogue in this respect and that it does it on...

Replaced the clips last night and the old ones must have been on their way out and leaking air under throttle, feels like it has gained an extra few BHP and pulls even cleaner than it did after I put the EGR bypass on. One of the cheaper mods at £2.54 :cool: I have bought the updated FRP sensor...

Thanks for the responses folks. Having spoken to a helpful chap at Island4x4 he told me the updated sensor is indeed the smaller version, but should be sold complete with an olive and washer as well as per the land rover bulletin, a straight swap sensor for sensor only will not work and it will...

haha good shout as i say only issue is that the plug doesn't fit 100% i.e. doesn't 'click' into place, but still fits snug enough and have just had to hold it together with a cable tie to stop it jumping off. So for now at least, all seems well

Thanks. What's weird though is that I have the old sensor in now with the new harness, and all seems well? I was under the impression that the new sensor HAD to be fitted with the new harness...

Here is the image below. New sensor - the one bought from eBay and the updated one - is the smaller on the left. The larger, original one that came on the car is on the right.

so I recently swapped my old sensor for a new one, along with the harness. No issues until yesterday smelled diesel quite strongly, and then today when checking under the hood and Mrs.wlshyd gunning the throttle, saw diesel spurting from the thread of the new sensor.. Disassembled the engine...

great thanks David

Is there a great variance in the glow plugs that appear incredibly cheap online? eBay in particular, set of four for about £12?!?!?! Rather not... Paddock spares have loads but doesn't say which engine they're for, and have tried searching for a part number, does anyone have one so I can make...

Did this plug ever come out?!?! :rolleyes: What a fantastic snip of unexpected entertainment...

I think you are right re: glow plugs, for the money and time to replace it can't hurt and at least would be something ticked off the list. It's already had a fair whack of injector cleaner through it last three months, and I am trying to use higher quality fuel when possible, too, rather than...

In that case, an unplug test might be hard to use an conclusive proof that the MAF is faulty. Thinking logically about it, the car is not displaying any of the main symptoms or issues that people have with faulty MAFs so it might be a moot point. The only thing that made me think it could be...

I think i need to do it again and take it for a longer drive on a road i know well to see if there really is a difference

What confuses me though, is why should the effect be so noticeable when the ECU reverts to stock values if it cannot sense MAF input? Surely the stock parameters the ECU is programmed to revert to in that instance wouldn't make the car run so terribly, as its there as a failsafe?

I have posted on another MAF thread about this as its bamboozling me; if the MAF is on its way out, then surely the car would have displayed rough running symptoms that other people tend to be getting namely poor idle, excessively smokey, sluggish below 1800rpm ish. What's odd is I don't seem to...

I have an odd 'problem' on my TD4, had the common lumpy idle when starting issue that soon clears and the slight misfire at 2000rpm when stationary, and last night having concluded that it may or not be injector related, I turned my attention to the MAF. Unplugged it and went for a quick spin...

Ha that's what i'm trying to do :)

... is a good point well made
